A new line is where network wiring is needed to enable service up to the NTP (Network Termination Point). Transfer. A Transfer is where The Phone Co-op takes over the service at a site where it already exists. This includes a previous service that has been stopped and where no network wiring up to the NTP is required to start or transfer this service. Line Rental. Line rental covers the provision, repair and maintenance of the exchange line up to the NTP. It does not cover the replacement of internal or external wiring damaged accidentally or maliciously or due to factors within the customer premises (such as damp).
